PEEFACE. 



The following "Work was undertaken at the suggestion of the 
Publishers, whose design was that it should be a School Dictionary, 
containing all English words in common use, arranged in the usual 
alphabetical order, with the etymology of such as are derived from 
the Greek and the Latin. But the Compiler had not proceeded far 
in his labours, when certain difficulties in the way of executing 
them in a manner satisfactory to himself, led him to reconsider the 
plan originally proposed, and subsequently to lay down the following 
rules for his future guidance : — First, To insert no word which has 
not been sanctioned by the use of some eminent author, or which 
has become obsolete ; secondly, To give the Spelling and Pronun- 
ciation which are supported by the greatest number of competent 
authorities ; thirdly, To denote what appears to be the Root of 
every word ; and, fourthly, To define and explain the words as they 
are generally employed by the standard writers of the English 
language. 

The number of words in the English language has been computed 
to amount to about eighty thousand. Of these some, which are 
found in the earlier authors, have become obsolete ; others in com- 
mon colloquial use have not been authorized by classical writers : 
a few are entirely technical, that is to say, are employed only in 
connexion with some particular art ; and many are mere inflections 
or compounds. As the Compiler could not insert all the words in 
the language in so small a Work, he has rejected almost all belonging 
to these four classes : those belonging to the first class, because they 
are no longer in use ; to the second, because they are not sanctioned 



4 PREFACE. 

by sufficient authority ; to the third, because they are not used in 
general speech or writing ; and to the fourth, because they do not 
differ in derivation, meaning, or pronunciation, from the words from 
which they are formed. After all these deductions and omissions, 
there still remain nearly forty thousand words, which are contained 
in the present Work, and for which quoted authority will be found 
in the larger Dictionaries. 

In the spelling of words, the Compiler has taken as his guide the 
prevailing usage of the principal lexicographers. A more uniform 
system might have been introduced by adopting certain general rules, 
according to which particular classes of words might have been 
spelled. But every such rule would have led to greater changes in 
the usual practice than the Compiler felt himself authorized to make. 
Instead of aiming at uniformity, therefore, he has preferred that 
mode of spelling each word which he found to be supported by the 
greatest number of authorities. 

He has pursued a similar plan in the pronunciation of words. 
Generally, the system of Walker has been adopted, as being most in 
accordance with the usage of the educated portion of society ; but 
the Compiler has not hesitated to depart from it, whenever he found 
it at variance either with the majority of authorities, or with gene ml 
practice. 

In the mode of indicating pronunciation, however, the present 
Work differs, in various respects, from that of Walker. In the first 
place, marks have been preferred to figures, as being equally precise 
and less perplexing. In the second place, the pronunciation is in- 
dicated only by the marks and the ordinary sounds of the letters, no 
attempt being made to render the pronunciation more plain by a 
different mode of spelling ; except in peculiar words, and in such as 
are pronounced in two different ways, one of which ways is generally 
indicated by marks, and the other by spelling the word as it is pro- 
nounced. In the third place, marks are placed only above the vowels 
in syllables which have the primary or secondary accent, most of the 
others being pronounced so obscurely that the sound cannot be 
exactly indicated. At the foot of each page is a key to the notation, 
and appended to this Preface is a table of the sounds indicated by 
marks, or by syllabication ; by the help of which there will be no 
difficulty in ascertaining, with all necessary precision, the pronuncia- 
tion of every word. 



PREFACE. 5 

The most satisfactory way of giving the derivation of words, would 
have been to have taken the most remote root, and traced it, through 
all its changes, into English. But, this was not practicable in a work 
of limited extent like the present ; and, for want of space, the Com- 
piler was forced to adopt a mode of derivation which, while it is 
sufficient to show the origin of words, at the same time saves all 
avoidable repetition, both of the roots and of their signification. 
Instead of giving its root after each English word, he has collected 
into families or groups all words which are derived from the same 
root, and which begin with the same syllable and have affinity in 
signification as well as in etymology, placing first, in large letters, 
what may be called the head of the family or group, and arranging 
under it, in smaller type, the other derivatives, in alphabetical order. 
In like manner, instead of explaining each root as it occurs in the 
body of the Work, he has collected the principal roots into a Voca- 
bulary, in which he has given their signification, and, as examples 
of their derivatives, the head or first word of every group in the 
Dictionary. These arrangements are attended by several disadvan- 
tages :— occasionally there is a slight departure from the strict alpha- 
betical order of the words ; sometimes the most remote root is given, 
without the intermediate derivatives through which the word passes 
into English ; and frequently it may be necessary to consult the 
Dictionary for the English word, and the Vocabulary for the meaning 
of its root. But, on the other hand, the Compiler did not see how 
he could, in any other way, comprise the explanation and derivation 
of what may be termed the classical words of the English language 
within the limits of a school-book ; the absence of its signification 
after each root will not be felt as an inconvenience by those who are 
acquainted with the learned languages, or have made some progress 
in the study of etymology ; and, when the Work is used as a text- 
book for teaching derivation, a most useful exercise for advanced 
pupils will be to make them find out the intermediate derivatives, 
through which any foreign word, whether ancient or modern, has 
been transferred into the English language. In this exercise, as well 
as in the study of etymology generally, considerable help will be 
obtained from one of the annexed tables, in which are detailed the 
principal changes which letters undergo in derivation. 

On this division of the Work, it may be necessary to explain, that 
when an English word is, in form and signification, the same as its 



t) PREFACE. 

root, the latter is not printed, but only the language to which it 
belongs is indicated ; that, when the root is thus of the same form as 
the English derivative, and also when the form is different, but the sig- 
nification the same, the root has not been inserted in the Vocabulary ; 
that roots are not placed after words for which no probable derivation 
has been assigned ; that all doubtful roots are denoted by a point of 
interrogation ; that a few Latin words not purely classical, and some 
obsolete French words, will be found among the roots ; that the 
roots in the Dictionary, and the radical parts of the words in the 
Vocabulary, are printed in italics ; that, in Greek words, the grave 
accent on e final (<?) indicates that it is not silent, as in English ; that, 
in the Vocabulary, r\ and &> are generally represented by e and 6 ; and 
that the quantity has been marked in all Greek and Latin words in 
which errors in pronunciation were likely to occur. 

The most philosophical mode of explaining words would have been 
to have given first their primary signification, as indicated by their 
derivation, and afterwards, in the order of their connexion with it, 
all their secondary meanings. But in this, as in derivation, the 
Compiler has been restricted by want of room ; and he has been 
under the necessity of confining himself to those acceptations which 
words most commonly bear in speech and writing. It thus not 
unfrequently happens, that the primary meanings of words have been 
omitted, because they are not in use, and that secondary meanings 
are attached to them, which appear to have no connexion with their 
derivation. Such explanations and definitions as he has given, how- 
ever, the Compiler has endeavoured to make as perspicuous, and, at 
the same time, as concise as possible ; and he trusts that they will 
be found sufficient to convey the ordinary acceptations of all the 
authorized words in the English language. 

To make the Dictionary more complete as a school-book, the Com- 
piler has added a copious list of Greek, Latin, and Scripture Proper 
Names. As in the first part of the Work, the vowels are marked as 
they ought to be pronounced, in syllables having the primary or 
secondary accent : they are also marked in some of the terminations 
which are liable to be mispronounced. To save the trouble of consulting 
two lists, the Greek, Latin, and Scripture Proper Names have been 
printed together. When a Proper Name occurs both in the Classical 
writers and in Scripture, but is differently accented, each mode of 
pronunciation is indicated ; and when there are two ways of spelling 



PREFACE. 7 

or pronouncing either a Classical or a Scripture Proper Name, both 
are generally given. 

In every department of the Work, the Compiler is aware that it 
is chargeable with many faults of both plan and execution. He 
nevertheless hopes that, as a school-book, it will be found superior to 
any dictionary at present in use. He can at least say for himself, and 
for the Publishers, that no labour or expense has been spared to make 
it serve the purpose for which it is designed. It was all carefully 
written by the Compiler's own hand, and the utmost attention was 
paid to accuracy while it was passing through the press. Nothing 
has been inserted without authority, and every word has been verified. 
As has been already stated, the Compiler has not, in any case, 
deferred merely to his own opinion, but has throughout proceeded 
on the principle of being guided by the majority of competent 
authorities. Of course he has exercised his own judgment in deciding 
what authorities he considered competent ; but he is confident that 
his judgment will be ratified by that of the public, when he adds, 
that the lexicographers whom he has chiefly followed are, for the 
authenticity, spelling, derivation, and explanation of words, Johnson, 
Todd, Richardson, and Webster ; for pronunciation, Walker, Jones, 
Perry, Fulton, Worcester, and Smart ; and for Anglo-Saxon roots, 
Bosworth. To these authors, and to the authors of the various other 
works which he has consulted, he desires to make the most ample 
acknowledgments. 

With these explanations, the Compiler commits his Dictionary to 
the public, in the hope that it will receive that approbation, of 
which, by the labour of several years, he lias endeavoured to make 
it worthy.

EDUCATIONAL WORKS. 



ENGLISH BEADING, GKAMMAE, ETC. 

In the initiatory department of instruction a valuable series of works has been 
prepared by Db M'Culloch, formerly Head Master of the Circus Place School, 
Edinburgh, now Minister of the West Church, Greenock. 

DR M'CULLOCH'S SERIES OF CLASS-BOOKS. 

These Books are intended for the use of Schools where the general mental 
culture of the pupil, as well as his proficiency in the art of reading, is studiously 
and systematically aimed at. 

They form, collectively, a professional Series, so constructed and graduated 
as to conduct the pupil, by regular stages, from the elementary sounds of the 
language to its highest and most complex forms of speech ; and each separate 
Book is also progressively arranged, — the lessons which are more easily read 
and understood always taking the lead, and preparing the way for those of 
greater difficulty. 

The subject-matter of the Books is purposely miscellaneous. Yet it is 
always of a character to excite the interest and enlarge the knowledge of the 
reader. And with the design of more effectually promoting his mental growth 
and nurture, the various topics are introduced in an order conformable to that 
in which the chief faculties of the juvenile mind are usually developed. 

That the moral feelings of the pupil may not be without their proper 
stimulus and nutriment, the lessons are pervaded throughout by the religious 
and Christian element.

Athenceum. — " A cheap and excellent history of England, admirably adapted 
for the use of junior classes. The various changes that have taken place in 
our constitution are briefly but clearly described. It is surprising how suc- 
cessfully the editor has not merely avoided the obscurity which generally 
accompanies brevity, but invested his narrative with an interest too often 
wanting in larger historical works. The information conveyed is thoroughly 
sound; and the utility of the book is much increased by the addition of 
examination questions at the end of each chapter."

of the Present State and Eesources of the United Kingdom and its

with clearness, and with more of that picturesque effect which so delights the 
young than is common in historical abstracts."

EDINBURGH ACADEMY CLASS-BOOKS. 

The acknowledged merit of these school-books, and the high reputation of 
the seminary from -which they emanate, almost supersede the necessity of 
any recommendation. The " Latin" and " Greek Rudiments" form an intro- 
duction to these languages at once simple, perspicuous, and comprehensive. 
The "Latin Rudiments" contain an Appendix, which renders the use of a 
separate work on Grammar quite unnecessary ; and the list of anomalous verbs 
in the " Greek Rudiments " is believed to be more extensive and complete than 
any that has yet appeared in School Grammars of the language. In the 
" Latin Delectus " and " Greek Extracts " the sentences have been arranged 
strictly on the progressive principle, increasing in difficulty with the advance- 
ment of the Pupil's knowledge; while the Vocabularies contain an explanation 
not only of every word, but also of every difficult expression which is found 
in the works, — thus rendering the acquisition of the Latin and Greek languages 
both easy and agreeable. The Selections from Cicero embrace the portions 
of his works which are best adapted for Scholastic tuition.
